How long are you going to wait

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself? – Epictetus⠀
⠀
An interesting observation I’ve made in myself and others -⠀
⠀
We are quick to offer advice to our family and friends, Even go as far as getting annoyed with them if they don’t follow our judgments.⠀
⠀
Because we want the best for them, We know that they could do better and make better choices…⠀
⠀
Yet when it comes to ourselves -⠀

⠀
We justify our decisions, We make excuses for ourselves, We talk ourselves out and let ourselves off the hook…⠀
⠀
Over and over again – Yet we don’t get mad at ourselves …⠀
⠀
We are no longer children, we can’t go on living day to day without our actions going unchecked…⠀
⠀
If we do, we will find ourselves on our deathbed having lived a mediocre average life, filled with excuses and justifications…⠀
⠀
The clocks ticking…⠀

How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself?⠀
